Bipartisan Senate group forms to break impasse on gun legislation

A small group of Democratic and Republican senators have formed a bipartisan negotiating group in hopes of reaching a modest deal on gun-control legislation, but they don’t have much time to hammer out their differences.
Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), a leading advocate for expanded background checks, hosted seven colleagues in a basement office in the Capitol Thursday afternoon for what participants described as an “organizational” meeting.
Sens. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.), Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) attended the meeting in person. Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) joined by telephone.
Murphy later told a reporter that the group includes a total of 10 members, evenly divided between Republicans and Democrats.
Senators in the meeting said the two main proposals on the table are expanded background checks for firearms purchases and transfers and red-flag legislation to prohibit people deemed a danger to themselves or others from possessing a firearm.
Murphy, Manchin and Toomey will focus on expanded background checks, while Blumenthal and Graham have been tasked with taking the lead on red-flag legislation. But the negotiation is expected to cover a broader range of topics.
“We have ruled out nothing. There are other ideas — school safety. But the two main ones are background checks and our bill,” Blumenthal said, referring to red-flag legislation he has negotiated with Graham. LINK

So in other words, the Republicans will give in and let the Dems do whatever the frick they want.
Because republicans caving is the only way anything “bipartisan” ever happens.

I think the word you are looking for is compromise. But yes, give in is also a good take.

Bill Cassidy’s office needs to be flooded with calls. I just called and the line was busy so looks like it’s happening

Get ready Supreme Court, another case of second amendment rights to rule on.

This unhinged moonbat's Tweets alone would automatically disqualify him from owning a gun under his own proposed legislation.
Isn't it ironic? (At least Helleresque.)

Ah yes. The usual suspects sans Mittens.

No. Compromise is when both parties give in a little and neither gets exactly what they want.
The left NEVER compromises. It is what makes them (unfortunately) so effective in implementing their agenda.

What part of shall not be infringed do they not understand?

And he wants to be the Governor
Eliminating guns is less popular in Louisiana than abortions. On these two issues Louisiana is Ruby Red. Fiscal issues - we may as well be Detroit. But abortions and guns, totally different story.
Bill Cassidy’s selection by the R party as the senatorial candidate against Mary Landrieu will never, ever cease to amaze me.

So for those of us who served in the US Army Infantry who have some sort of PTSD can be flagged?
what constitutes a person too dangerous to possess/own a firearm?

None of it.
Shall not: implies enforced rule of law. Leftist-statists? Nope.
Be: the leftist-statists atheist who has immanentized the eschaton is incapable of ontological analysis.
Infringed: this concept requires a grasp of and respect for unalienable rights. Otherwise, "infringement" has no meaning.
